Daily Devotional- Parenting

God designed each of us for a particular purpose and He specifically
gifted us to perform that purpose "for the common good". Yet we often
want to choose our own design for our children and ourselves.
Unfortunately that choice typically includes qualities and
characteristics that are honored and esteemed by the world's system.
That's not the way God works. God is the architect, and He knows how the
pieces fit together.

Don't you think it would be more rewarding
to submit to God's design and walk in His will than to struggle to be
something you were not designed to be? "All are not apostles, are they?"
(1 Cor 12:29).
Try a spiritual gifts inventory with your family. Then work together on ways to use those gifts "for the common good."
